Chapter 329: A false alarm
10.9.8...... Times Square is crowded with people, and God seems to be a little gracious today, and he didn't make any moths. If you come to a heavy snowfall, the girls in the square will be miserable.
The advent of the new millennium has also made Times Square rapidly boiling.
The current international situation is relatively calm, and the tension at the end of the century seems to have eased. Regardless of the class, at this moment, what mankind can generally expect is world peace. The past 100 years can be said to be the darkest 100 years. The humans who fought each other have developed terrible weapons, and if necessary, they can even kill all humans on this planet.
Fortunately, all this has passed, and the new history has lifted the title page, and judging from the current situation, wood has a mustache and wood has hair.
That's great, and hopefully it can go on forever.
"The power system is normal, the transportation system is normal, and after testing, the online banking can be delivered smoothly. Just now, we just completed a remittance of 10,000 US dollars. ”
Glued to the computer screen, William White needed to determine whether this crisis could be survived.
"Boss, I just received news that a 7-11 family in Xiangjiang has a computer failure. The cash register works fine, but when the user uses a credit card to pay the bill, the problem occurs. ”
, William White was very depressed. Nima, this face beating, buddy also said that he wanted to reward him heavily, so you will give me a whole moth.
"Jason, what's going on?
One or many. ”
"Boss, I've sent an engineer to solve it. Just now, I've asked other stores and there have been no similar problems. ”
"Well, Larry, let your people figure out if it's a system vulnerability. They all say that the millennium worm is how, do you really think that everything will be fine after today?"
"Larry, tell them, what the hell is this millennium worm?"
In fact, even if it has been emphasized. There are also many people who disagree with this. Just as Larry Ellison was in the middle of the screen, someone spoke again on the screen.
"Boss, I just received the news, I just received the news that some models of Tesla cars have encountered startup obstacles. As soon as Dominic finished speaking, William White's head was in a state of panic. Looking at that posture, this thing may also have a millennium worm in its head.
"What, boss, we've checked, it's the driving computer that can't identify the year 2000. ”
"Damn, how big is the amount involved? In addition to the problem with the trip computer, what about the gearbox? Is there also a problem?
Damn, by the way, go ask the other companies if they have any problems?"
William White is really anxious, if hundreds of thousands of cars need to be recalled, his loss will be too great. These are not counted, the new brand needs to be carefully cared for, and if he is the only one who has a problem, it is not shameful enough.
Nima, it's okay that he can't start, if he forces a shutdown, oh my God, he can't even think about it, once the high-speed vehicle suddenly stops......
At the same time, Lao Ke, who was in Peanutton, was greatly relieved. Nuclear power plants are fine, and airlines are fine. He learned early on that some GM and Ford models had start-up problems. Like William White, the first thing that came to his mind was airplanes.
"Mr. President, I just consulted, and this problem occurs because car manufacturers habitually set the service life.
As for the aircraft, no one dared to set such a year. ”
"Uh, how long is it going to be?"
"Yes, generally speaking, twenty years is the extreme, and there will be great safety risks in overdue service, and manufacturers are obviously unwilling to bear this part of the uncertainty.
So ......"
Clinton, who breathed a sigh of relief, was also a little guilty, Nima, buddy, who doesn't need decades for cars in that era. The advancement of science and technology has indeed made it easier to build a car. There is no need to tune the carburetor throttle, and this part of the work is all left to the computer. However, once this computer is lying on its stomach, it can't be repaired.
Naturally, it is not only Peanuton who pays attention to this millennium insect, but a group of Wall Street bigwigs are also eyeing it. Mother, the funds are all in the financial market, in case there is any accident, I am afraid that it will not be barter in the future.
For this kind of bug, the related investment is an astronomical amount, not to mention, the computers before 486 have basically become electronic waste. If such a large investment can't solve the problem, then something really will happen.
"Thank you, old man. Looking at Charlie Munger, whose eye sockets were deep, Buffett was a little apologetic. Although he himself is not young, Charlie Munger is not.
"It doesn't matter, except for a few glitches, there's nothing too big of an anomaly. I think we've got through this. ”
"Well, old man, you say, could this be a trick on the part of the IT companies? ”
"I don't know, they think there's a way to fix those old computers. ”
Although Charlie Munger said it vaguely, what kind of character Buffett is, you can understand it when you hear it.
However, it is useless for you to know. It's a feast of gluttony that won't allow anyone to spoil it at all.
"By the way, when I came here just now, I made a special inquiry. In some African countries, there are indeed many problems. ”
"Hey, that's for sure. After all, this design drawback is formal, and no one can make it up out of thin air. ”
"Fabricated? non-existent. Tesla needs to recall more than 30,000 cars, and our richest man must be angry now. I just don't know if this guy has bought insurance for himself. ”
"Really? hahaha, hahaha. deserves it, just one oracle, I don't know how much money I made for this guy, if I don't spit it out, it's simply intolerable. ”
The schadenfreude of the two old guys, William White will not care. Seeing that there was something big about the wood, this guy had already hugged his wife and felt broken. As long as it's not a systemic risk, he doesn't care.
As for speaking of losses?
This Nima is a listed company, as long as the stock price does not collapse, he will not care who you love.
Or, if the stock price is really cut in half. On the contrary, the benefits will be even greater. If it is really low to a certain extent, it would be good to directly privatize and delist. GM and Ford are losing blood, but he is profitable, not only profitable, but also quite profitable in the rabbit market.
Of course, it's a shame to be embarrassed. Nima, you were the first to jump out and say that the millennium worm harmed you, and you were the one who kept saying that it was foolproof.
But are you really so selfless?
"This is the most serious full-scale crisis ever since humanity got hold of the computer.
Fortunately, the world's scientific and technological elites gathered in the United States, and we perfectly avoided this crisis.
Just last night, as far as I know, there were at least tens of thousands of computer engineers around the world who stayed up all night.
Yes, we did it in the end, thank God. ”
Looking at this video pinned to the top of NBC Online, it is difficult for others to say, anyway, Clinton is in a groove. Nima, don't go so far, this is not treating the president as a cadre, bastard!
Well, hurry up, this New Year's speech must be changed.
Lao Ke actually thought too much, and originally there was no such thing. Isn't this worried about being complained about, buddy, let's start first.
With the seed, you say a failure, I'll see.
